"Hardest thing I’ve been through in my career by far," Getzlaf said. "Been through some tough years, but this one, having a stretch like this, I’ve never been through. It’s been really tough. I can give you every cliche in the book with the way things are going now." If there's a silver lining, it's that the Ducks were in such a good position before their slump that even a 0-8-4 stretch hasn't completely destroyed their season. They are out of a playoff spot now, but are only two points back of a Wild Card spot. Their game in Minnesota on Thursday will be against the team that holds the last Wild Card spot, so ending the skid there would be particularly helpful. Jan 16 - 6:04 AM

Ryan Getzlaf posted a goal with an assist in Friday's 7-4 home loss against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Getzlaf finished with a minus-1 rating, a team-best five shots on goal and a blocked shot with two hits. It was his first multi-point performance in 10 outings dating back to his two-point night in Pittsburgh on Dec. 17. He'll likely be sad that the Penguins do not appear on the regular-season schedule again in 2018-19. Getzlaf will look to carry the momentum into Sunday's tilt in Winnipeg. Jan 12 - 2:13 AM

Ryan Getzlaf has been pointless in his last six games.

He could get Rickard Rakell back on his wing Sunday and that will help as the big center has slumped like the rest of the Ducks of late. He has nine goals and 29 points in 36 games this season. Jan 6 - 7:58 AM

Ryan Getzlaf scored a goal and an assist in Monday's 4-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The Penguins scored the first two goals of the game, but the Ducks answered by scoring the next four. Getzlaf registered the primary assist on Ondrej Kase's go-ahead goal (3-2) late in the second frame and he added an empty-netter in the final minute of regulation. This was the 33-year-old's third two-point game in his last four outings. He has nine goals and 28 points in 29 games this season. He's a must-start in all fantasy formats right now.

Their game in Minnesota on Thursday will be against the team that holds the last Wild Card spot, so ending the skid there would be particularly helpful.

Adam Henrique scored the game winner as Anaheim halted a 12 game winless streak Thursday in a 3-0 win over the Wild.

Henrique's goal was only his ninth of the season and his first since December 29. Henrique has not been a fantasy asset this season but neither have been any of the Ducks with the exception of John Gibson as the Ducks have struggled to score. Henrique has 26 points in 48 games.

The bottom-six forward set up Brian Gibbons, Rickard Rakell and Andrew Cogliano and has three goals and 12 points in 26 games. The 12 points is a career high, besting the seven he had as a rookie two seasons ago in 27 games.

Troy Terry scored a goal and registered an assist in Anaheim's 3-2 win against New Jersey Saturday afternoon.

Those were Terry's first two career points. Daniel Sprong also had a goal and an assist for Anaheim. Derek Grant netted the game-winning goal. Adam Henrique, Nick Ritchie, and Hampus Lindholm each registered an assist on Saturday.

Derek Grant was traded to the Anaheim Ducks in return for Joseph Blandisi late on Wednesday night.

Grant, who signed with the Penguins as a free agent this past offseason has collected five points in 25 NHL games this season. Last year with the Ducks, he managed 24 points in 66 regular season games and none in four playoff games. This transaction was the third deal of the day for Ducks’ GM Bob Murray who is looking to provide some sort of spark for his team that is in the midst of a 12 game losing streak. He may be worth keeping an eye out for him in the short-term given his past success with the Ducks and the fact that the team placed both Kesler and Silfverberg on IR earlier today.

Rickard Rakell scored a goal in Thursday’s 3-0 win over the Minnesota Wild.

Rakell was the trailer as Devin Shore was poke checked in front, burying the loose puck. It’s goals in three straight for Rakell, bringing the 25-year-old winger to eight goals and 24 points in 35 games this season. If you took our advice and bought Rakell on the cheap, you must be happy after his mini-streak. As we highlighted in previous posts, he is shooting well below his career shooting percentage (13%) and his shooting percentage in each of the last two seasons (15% and 18.6%). It might be too little too late to buy low. Adam Henrique and Brian Gibbons also scored in the win, snapping a 12-game losing streak for the Ducks.

The forward was injured in Thursday's win over Minnesota and was placed on the injured reserve list with an upper-body injury. The injury is obviously to his arm. Kase has 11 goals and 30 points in 30 games and has been one of the few bright spots offensively for Anaheim.

Devin Shore has been dealt from Dallas to Anaheim in exchange for Andrew Cogliano.

Shore has notched five goals and 17 points in 42 games this season. He has been struggling for a while now, with no goals and six assists in his last 26 outings. Perhaps the change of scenery will do him some good. Shore has another year left on his contract after the 2018-19 campaign.

Daniel Sprong scored and added an assist Saturday in the Ducks 3-2 win.

Sprong has been strong for the Ducks since he was acquired from Pittsburgh on December 3 with seven goals and 11 points in 20 games for the goal-starved team. "I always believed I could produce," Sprong said. "Everywhere I’ve played, from juniors to the American League, I always produced. ... It’s exciting when the coaching staff and players believe in you and trust you a lot. I was happy to chip in (Saturday)."

Justin Kloos is with the Ducks but won't dress on Thursday night against the Minnesota Wild.

Kloos was acquired by the same Wild on Wednesday in exchange for Pontus Aberg. The 25-year-old forward picked up 12 goals and 30 points in 34 games with Minnesota's AHL affiliate. The Ducks also acquired Michael Del Zotto from the Canucks on Wednesday night, making him a scratch as well. Andrej Sustr rounds up the men in the press box.

"I’m here early, in the gym, doing my thing, doing different exercises, riding the bike and I started the slide board," Perry said. "All those things are good signs leading to the ice. It’s pretty much how it works. I’ve had a couple of days of slide board already. It’s feeling pretty good. Every day I’m ramping it up a little bit more and more intensely and we’ll see how it feels." He hasn't resumed skating yet, but that might not be too further off. If all goes well, he might be able to return around the start of March. Perry hasn't played yet this season due to a torn meniscus that he sustained during preseason warmups. Because of that injury, they took this opportunity to also repair a MCL injury that he had been playing through for years.

Roy was injured a week ago with an undisclosed upper body injury and has not returned to action. He is on a two-way contract and unless he can return quickly, he likely will start his season in the minors. He had six goals and a helper in 25 games with Anaheim last season.

The Anaheim Ducks were shut out by a score of 4-0 by the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday night.

Terrible all-around night from the Ducks who couldn’t get any of their 39 shots on goal by Cam Talbot. Cam Fowler made his much anticipated return to the lineup after missing 23 games due to facial fractures. He finished with a minus-2 rating in 22:01 of ice-time.

Hampus Lindholm had a goal and an assist Sunday in the Ducks' 6-5 win over Washington.

Lindholm returned to the Anaheim lineup Friday after missing six games with a lower-body injury. The defenseman had an assist on Friday and is up to three goals and 13 points in 23 games in 2018-19. He should be rostered in deeper leagues.

Michael Del Zotto was traded to the Ducks in return for Luke Schenn and a 2020 seventh round pick on Wednesday night.

The trade between the Canucks and Ducks occurred late Wednesday night. Del Zotto had been a healthy scratch for the last four games for the Canucks and only dressed once since December 6th, 2018. Perhaps Del Zotto may see more playing time in southern California, but even if he does, this trade should carry almost no fantasy impact.

Brandon Montour's four point effort Wednesday all came in the third period.

In doing so, Montour tied Ryan Getzlaf, Vinny Prospal and Paul Kariya for the most points in a period by an Anaheim player. The strange thing is that it wasn't even good enough for Montour to be named one of the three stars of the game. The defenseman has five goals and 19 points this season in 33 games.

A solid Ducks forecheck led to Mikhail Sergachev turning over the puck behind the net before Adam Henrique found Manson alone in front for the goal. The Lightning were then able to tie up the game before the end of the second period but the Ducks got goals by Nick Ritchie and Carter Rowney in the final frame for the win. Manson finds himself at two goals and five points in 22 games this season.

The netminder was injured on December 9 against New Jersey and was given a six-week recovery period but it looks like it is going to be longer than that as he is at the five-week mark without any sign of his seeing the ice. Miller is 4-2-1 with a 2.71 GAA and a .922 save percentage as the backup to John Gibson.
